Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 431: Knocking

What’s even more terrifying is that these people most likely have higher-level concealing techniques to bring out more accomplices!

Xia Mian squinted her eyes. She had thought the two realms channel she constructed was airtight, without any flaws. Now, it seems there are quite a few leaks in this airtight system!

Xia Mian’s gaze fell distantly on the cat. The cat had cozied up to the man for a good half an hour before reluctantly jumping onto the wall, its figure merging into the night.

The man then nostalgically got up and returned to the tavern.

The man didn’t know that just by coming out to feed the cat, he had already caught Xia Mian’s attention.

However, Xia Mian didn’t want to confront him now; instead, she quietly followed the cat.

She needed to verify whether her suspicions were true or false with facts.

The cat was small, its body jumping back and forth on the wall like a shadow, flickering and elusive.

Xia Mian followed at a distance neither too far nor too close. The faster the tabby cat ran, the more Xia Mian was certain something was amiss.

Sure enough, after running for some time, the tabby cat stopped in a grove.

Outside the grove, under the dappled moonlight, the tabby cat halted its steps in front of the woods, meowing towards them.

As the tabby cat’s cries echoed into the depths of the grove, a sound slowly emerged from within.

A woman in a black cloak slowly stepped out of the woods.

The woman bent down and picked up the cat, taking a deep breath, and the smile on her face deepened as she caught the stranger’s scent on the tabby cat, "Well done."

The woman’s hand gently stroked the tabby cat’s body; the cat squinted its eyes in enjoyment, purring contentedly.

The moment Xia Mian saw the woman, her eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.

Oh, a familiar face!

The woman in front of her was none other than Qin Su, the clan leader of the Beast Taming Clan, wasn’t she?

Back on Yukun Mountain, considering Qin Su and Qin Xiang were from the same clan, Xia Mian hadn’t gone all out against her and let her go. Unexpectedly, after many days, this Qin Su still seemed to harbor wild ambitions?

Qin Su, holding the cat, was full of satisfaction, "Good kitty, once we seize the territory, you’ll be the hero of our Beast Taming Clan."

The Beast Taming Clan was adept at taming beasts, but their territory was sparse in resources, not suitable for cultivation.

If they didn’t come up with a solution soon, the Beast Taming Clan might continue to regress until they exhausted themselves to death.

The tabby cat mewed again, seemingly understanding Qin Su’s words, or perhaps not.

Xia Mian lowered her gaze, not stepping forward to disturb Qin Su.

A lot of forces from the Mystical World had come to the present world, but how exactly they got through is still something she’s only partially understood. She doesn’t plan to stir things up before she’s figured it all out.

After speaking with the tabby cat for a while, Qin Su, holding the cat, returned to the forest.

Xia Mian turned back to the tavern.

In the private room, Xia Weizhang was waiting so anxiously that smoke seemed to be coming out of his forehead.

Xia Mian had said she wanted to look around and didn’t let him follow, so he really didn’t follow.

But now, the food on the table was getting cold, and Xia Mian still hadn’t returned.

He hoped nothing bad had happened, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain to the Divine Master!

Just as Xia Weizhang was getting so anxious that he seemed about to boil over, Xia Mian finally returned.

After returning, Xia Mian didn’t mention a word about what she discovered during her absence; instead, she urged Xia Weizhang to hurry and eat.

Xia Weizhang had things on his mind, eating while asking if Xia Mian had discovered anything. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Xia Mian shared her findings, then let out a small sigh, "I gave these people complete freedom, but I didn’t expect it to be exploited by people from the Mystical World."

Unable to act against ordinary people due to the Divine Clan’s reputation, the people from the Mystical World skillfully exploited the weaknesses in human nature to get what they wanted.

Xia Weizhang’s expression turned serious; he truly hadn’t expected that people from the Mystical World would target these ordinary folks...

Does this mean the ordinary people who repeatedly returned to visit family might have been impostors from the Mystical World?

Then it could also be possible that the people impersonated are already dead?

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to notice any signs at all...

"It’s unlikely they were killed; the more probable scenario is that their memories were erased," Xia Mian said calmly.

After all, if those who harmed her were detected, she could quickly uncover their deeds.

But if they erased the memories of these ordinary people after using them, they wouldn’t bear such risks.

That’s why Xia Mian didn’t stop that man before.

If Xia Mian had asked, the man might not even recall whom he had come into contact with or what events had occurred around him.

"Are they treating us like fools?" Xia Weizhang’s eyes flashed coldly.

At the same time, he deeply resented his own lack of strength, realizing that Mystical World people had mingled with them as they traveled back and forth between the two realms without him noticing!

Xia Mian, however, took it in stride, "Since the passage between the two realms has been opened, it’s inevitable that people will exploit it."

Now that she’s identified the problem, she intends to resolve it as soon as possible.

Xia Weizhang’s expression was solemn, "In the future, I’ll be more vigilant."

Xia Mian shook her head, "That’s not a solution."

Human energy is limited; there will always be oversights.

Xia Weizhang was also a bit troubled.

This won’t work, and that won’t work either. So what should they do to prevent the Mystical World people from exploiting them?

"Let’s eat first!" Xia Mian said with a carefree smile.

It’s not a big issue; it just requires the present world’s people to cooperate.

"After dinner, gather all the people I’ve sent over." Xia Mian said calmly, "I will mark each of them with my aura."

"Before they leave, if they don’t have my aura, then they’re fake!" Xia Mian said softly.

Her aura isn’t something easily impersonated!

Moreover, as long as these people carry her aura, no one can steal it from them.

To impersonate, they’d have to impersonate her.

And before Xia Weizhang takes people away, he only needs to sense if they have a divine clan soul stone to discern their authenticity.

Xia Weizhang looked skeptically at Xia Mian, "Will this really work?"

Xia Mian smiled slightly, "Whether it works or not, we have to try."

If anyone really dares to impersonate her, she won’t hesitate to send them to hell.

Xia Weizhang nodded. After finishing the meal, he immediately gathered everyone from the present world in the tavern.

Briefly explaining the issues they’re facing now, Xia Mian expressed her request.

Those who agreed, Xia Mian left her mark on them; those who didn’t, she didn’t force and immediately sent back to the present world.
